HI,
I've flashed the latest Androidmeda over the previous version (VXD).
I've noticed that after flashing, CWM manager was missing from the app list.
According to the changelog, no changes were made to CWM manager application, and even the kernel is the same, so why can't i find CWM manager?

As this is a ROM related issue, please post your question in Androidmeda thread.
P.S.: You may have to flash a kernel containing the CWM Manager app (e.g. CF-Root) to bring it back again to your phone. Then re-flash the ROM's kernel back.

Thank you for your quick response, It_ler, i'll give it a shot. too bad that the ROM developers didn't mention it in their changelog.

Just go to the Market and install the app AppExtractor. You can extract the APK from your nan-backup (made with CWM) and saved on the sdcard. Then install the APK as usual .

That's the weird thing, UpInTheAir. that if i'm flashing the previous ROM (VXD), i can see that CWM manager is present, and the version is 3.0. and when i open the same ROM (on my PC), i cant find the CWM apk anywhere. I've extracted the 2.8.7 ROM (the one that was released before VXD) and i did found CWM manager apk under the data folder, which was version 2.0.
So i was just wondering, how the version was upgraded from 2.0 to 3.0 after I've flash the VXD ROM, even if there wasn't CWM apk inside, and the kernel is the same kernel?
Sorry if I've confused you guys, but I'm just starting to get to know the Android OS structure more deeply, and i would really like to know what I've been missing.
Thanks
Did the ROM come with a different or updated custom kernel? So maybe updated with the kernel part of the ROM ?
The kernel and recovery partition go hand in hand.
Eg. Flashing Chainfire's CF-Root kernel will give both CWM Manager & CWM Recovery.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Search for "CWM Manager apk" on the forums, there are copies of CWM Manager 2.0 floating around. It installs as an app. Unsure if there are versions of 3.0 available.
Actually, yes. but as far as i understood from the developers, they didn't touch the kernel.
Is there a way to compare between the previous kernel and the current?
I know there is a way to extract the Zimage file, like any other Linux kernel, but would i be able to know the differences?
And one more question: on post #2 by It_ler, he suggested to flash a different kernel (i.e. CF-Root) , and then flash the ROM kernel. if i'll do that, then the latter kernel that i flashed, will wipe also the CWM (recovery and manger) that were flashed earlier, am i right?

OK. I have searched and searched. And I cannot post in Development forum yet. My i9100 was rooted using CFRoot. That installed an app called CWM. It is not the same as ROM Manager found in the market. Since then I have wiped and installed Cognition S2 rom and I do not have the CWM.apk that came with CFRoot. Looked all over online and all I keep getting pointed to is the CFRoot thread or threads talking about Rom Manager. Can someone link me to / upload the CWM that comes with CFRoot?

Cognition S2 doesnt come with CF-Root kernel. To get the CWM app back you need to flash the CF-root kernel.

i'm staying with the stock rom (for now @ least until i figure out why i loose wifi), and entropy's DD for kernel...as otherwise my wifi goes bye bye... i just updated the modem to the uckk6 or uchk6, and i'm getting astonishing results with that modem in the chicagoland area... and i didn't loose wifi... now i tried to upgrade to the latest android version but then the wifi goes bye bye again.
p.s. i used entropy's recovery to stock quite a few times as i've used something from another forums and wifi bye bye (that same thing is posted on xda-dev as a tutorial)... so this was the only way to fix it that worked... and for some reason the only kernel that doesn't disable wifi is entropy's Daily Driver. anyways so i'm not sure why i didn't get the CMW.apk installed on my galaxy s2. hopefully this one will work. I think it's just my n00bness to custom roms that makes the WiFi disappear, hopefully i will get some more knowledge soon.
so basically my system now looks like this:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband: i777UCKK6
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCKH7
*** [ just the modem changed. when i go to latest android version i loose wifi ] * signatures: disabled in CMW
I also found another link for CMW.apk on the forums (different section) but of course it uses multiupload and it's not working.
p.p.s. another n00b question. do you guys think it would be safe for me to use a rom or will it disable the wifi again ?... and which rom would you suggest, something like entropy512 is using stock rom that is scrubbed from b/s... or maybe a different one, but i don't want to loose wifi as i'm on 2GB limited plan and that goes fast without wifi...
any suggestions.
Sorry but I think I forgot to say thank you to all the people who replied.

I just rooted, I've got ROM Manager and I'm about to use it to install the ClockworkMod recovery.
If I ever decide I don't want it, can I restore the phone's factory recovery console? If so, how? And will the method vary as kernels, firmwares etc do?
Thank you.
As much as I know, ROM Manager does not work on SGS2. Please search for the "CWM" thread in the "original development" forum.

Then I wonder how I am to perform the same kinds of activities ROM Manager supports, like installing and backing up ROMs. Is there a GUI-based alternative?
Im also some what new at thia stuff.
First you should get your hands on the program called ODIN and also the cf root that matchs your current phones verison.
Thay way when you flash your phone tou get clockwork mod and then back it up.
I am sure others can get into more detail but as i said.... I am also new at using ROMS

First stop posting your questions in the dev sections, second you don't need rom manager to do all that, you simply need a to flash a kernel that has cwm recovery built in, that's what rom manager boots into anyway.

entropy's post has several to choose from. they are all dated. the dates are the versioning (if you will)
how hard is it to click on one and download it? maybe the most recent one?
also, Entropy's kernels in that thread are for CWM, flashable just like any other CWM zip file
perhaps you need to read the FAQ thread and the HOW TO ROOT thread. this basic stuff is explained very well.
Latest Entropy kernel is DD_11132011.zip For future reference, the file names are based on the release date.

ok I DL'ed that zip file, and tried to flash w/ odin but it doesnt list it as a valid .tar file, and won't let me see it in the list of files I can choose from to flash
downloaded cwm, and flashed it with odin (the exact way I tried to flash the kernel, but this one actually shows up for use)
cwm is installed, moved the .zip to SD and installed with cwm, and nothing. Phone is not rooted and completely the same as before the install...
Not sure what to do at this point.....why didn't the kernel flash?
Should I just go ahead and try to flash the ROM?

From Stock:
1. Install Entropy512's kernel, found here.
2. Entropy512's kernel will give you root and CWM. Download Titanium Backup from the Market, and after allowing root permissions, back up your apps.

Hi,
I really want to get pure ics on my galaxy s II. Currently i'm on 2.3.4 gingerbread, unrooted.
I have asked a few questions about how to root my phone, and found a pretty straight forward tutorial, that users on xda have said is great to follow:
jayceooi.com/2011/08/04/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-with-cf-root-video
Rooting the phone appears to be pretty straight forward using the above tutorial, but finding the correct rom is what im not so sure about.
Users on xda have told me to use:
forum.xda developers.com/show....php?t=1075278 , to find a rom, specifically the ones just above ++++++ [Frankenstein Firmwares] +++++++
The only problem is, how do i know which one to use, i gather its going to be the 4.0.3 roms, but there are so many varients for different countries, which one is for me?
Does it matter which one i choose? Is there differences between them?
Thanks,
correct country
Hi, I'm not sure what other differences there are, but I know if you use the wrong countries Rom, the keyboard layout will be different to the one you are expecting, and as far as I know, there is no way of correcting this.
If you are going to use English as your main language then you can update to any rom as all the rooms support English primarily .
You can upgrade to the latest ics rom which is xwlp4, you can also find the matching cf root for the rom if you need root
#*posted on the move *#
Does that mean I would have to use another rooting method in order to use the new ics rom, or can I use the tutorial I posted previously?
Currently my kernel is XWKI4, and according to that tutorial I must find the insecure kernel that is closest to mine, what must be done differently?
Just flash any root kernel and your done. This will give root, su, super user, busy box and custom CWM Recovery for flashing, wiping, restore & backup etc.
Siyahkernel for example, can flash via Odin .tar or CWM recovery .zip
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/04/06/siyahkernel-v3-0-2/
Use could also use Chainfire CF-root kernel also found in XDA.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I'm sorry I don't understand what your trying to say.
Are you saying I need to use another kernel for cfroot, which will be capable of booting the new ics rom
Kernels are specific to GB or ICS. Not interchangeable.
Sorry, gave you the wrong link for siyahkernel GB.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/03/19/siyahkernel-v2-6-14/
From there you can nandroid backup in cwm recovery and also backup and user apps and data with bavkup root apps such as; my backup root or titanium backup.
Then you can flash any custom ICS ROM of your choosing. Listening ROM is excellent with few bugs. It will come with a earlier version of siyahkernel, which has a few issues with wifi toggle, so suggest to flash the latest ICS kernel from the link I previously posted or from his thread here in XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
Edit; important to do a full system wipe when changing rom from a different Android base. Wipe system,data, cache,dalvik in cwm recovery.
Another method would be to factory reset, wipe cache in recovery and power off. Enter download mode (volume up+power) release only when on dl mode. Have lies drivers on PC,but shut down lies and use Odin to flash the .tar litening rom. Done
Many methods and choices

This is an insecure kernel for android build UMKK1, which is Gingerbread.
You have an XXLPQ build, which is ICS.
You need to use a kernel that is closer to your build. There is an LPQ kernel in the CF-root thread, flash that. (make sure to use the one labelled as "proper", it fixes some stuff)

Originally my phone had Gingerbread - which is why I used that kernel. However, I then thought it had rooted. So installed ICS. Downloaded Rom manager and it tells me my phone isnt rooted.
Should I still use that one?

Is the information in post 1 still accurate? Is that what is CURRENTLY on your phone? Then use the LPQ "proper" kernel in that thread I linked. Instructions are in post 1 of that same thread, but the short of it is: find the kernel that matches your build, and flash with Odin. (I already told you which one) That should be all you need to do. That will show the Triangle when you boot the phone, but if you don't care about that showing, then you're done.
So you're saying your reason for using the UMKK1 Gingerbread kernel was because you were PREVIOUSLY on Gingerbread? Well, you installed ICS. Your kernel changed along with it. You'd now have to use an ICS kernel to root ICS. Make sense?

Hi there, it rooted, so thanks for your help with that.
However, I tried installing cyanogenmod from the latest one listed in the Rom Manager. It downloaded, the phone re-booted into recovery. I deleted cache and data, then installed the zip file from sd card, however it came up that it had failed and was aborted.
So now it's rebooted and is back to 4.0.3 but with all my data gone.
Man this sucks.
Hope you can help mate

I don't use CyanogenMod, but I would avoid using ROM Manager if I were you. Why don't you just follow the instructions in the CM discussion thread? And which CM are you attempting to install? CM7, or CM9? (one is Gingerbread, and the other is ICS)
BTW - you would have had to delete all data, going to either version of CM anyways, as file system is a bit different between AOSP and Samsung based firmwares.

CM9 discussion thread. Has installation instructions in post 1, which don't involve using ROM Manager at all. As I said earlier, I'd avoid using ROM Manager; it often misbehaves on this device.
Here's some advice... even though I don't use CM (7 or 9), I found that that thread in 1 second by typing "cyanogenmod9 i9100 xda discussion thread" into Google. It was the first result that came up.
I know forum search sometimes is down, but I actually prefer to use Google for my searches anyways. You can even limit searches to a specific site by including "site:" followed by whatever site you are interested in limiting your search to.
For example, if I wanted to search the xda forums for i9100 rooting techniques, I'd Google:
site:forum.xda-developers.com i9100 rooting techniques
This will return a Google search for "i9100 rooting techniques" that are within the forum.xda-developers.com domain.
Rule #1 of the forum is to search before posting anyways... I know you're new to most of this, but you'll find people will tend to either not help or will be kind of mean if you post commonly asked questions.
Hope all this helps.

Boot to recovery. You'll know because CWM recovery has MANY more options than stock recovery. Stock recovery you can only wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, and maybe a couple other options. I don't exactly remember, it's been so long since I've had stock recovery.

CM9 discussion thread. Has installation instructions in post 1, which don't involve using ROM Manager at all. As I said earlier, I'd avoid using ROM Manager; it often misbehaves on this device.
Here's some advice... even though I don't use CM (7 or 9), I found that that thread in 1 second by typing "cyanogenmod9 i9100 xda discussion thread" into Google. It was the first result that came up.
I know forum search sometimes is down, but I actually prefer to use Google for my searches anyways. You can even limit searches to a specific site by including "site:" followed by whatever site you are interested in limiting your search to.
For example, if I wanted to search the xda forums for i9100 rooting techniques, I'd Google:
site:forum.xda-developers.com i9100 rooting techniques
This will return a Google search for "i9100 rooting techniques" that are within the forum.xda-developers.com domain.
Rule #1 of the forum is to search before posting anyways... I know you're new to most of this, but you'll find people will tend to either not help or will be kind of mean if you post commonly asked questions.
Hope all this helps.

Okay thanks.
Believe me I spent 5 hours last night searching for answers and reading.
I appreciate your help.

Sometimes it's just a matter of inputting the right search terms.
Anyways, I'd also advise you to follow the "noob-proof" installation instructions only on that CM9 discussion thread. It is the most straight-forward, and involves the fewest amount of steps.

Were you following the "noob-proof" instructions as I advised?
What exact steps did you take?
